Answer:

f(1/2)=0

Step-by-step explanation:

Given this function:

f(x)=ax+b

We need to find the value of:

f(1/2)

This is really simple because the problem give us the following data:

f(3)=5\\\\and\\\\f(-2)=-5

Using this data we can write a 2x2 system of equations like this:

Let:

f(3)=5=a(3)+b\\\\\rightarrow3a+b=5\hspace{10}(1)

and

f(-2)=5=a(-2)+b\\\\\rightarrow-2a+b=-5\hspace{10}(2)

Our system will be:

3a+b=5\hspace{28}(1)\\-2a+b=-5\hspace{10}(2)

We can solve this system using different methods, however I will use elimination method because I believe it is really simple. So:

(1)-(2)\\\\5-(-5)=3a-(-2a)+b-b\\\\10=5a\\\\Solving\hspace{3}for\hspace{3}a\\\\a=\frac{10}{5} =2

Replacing a into (1)

3(2)+b=5\\\\6+b=5\\\\Solving\hspace{3}for\hspace{3}b\\\\b=5-6=-1

Now we found the values of a and b, our function is given by:

f(x)=2x-1

Let's verify it:

f(3)=2(3)-1=6-1=5

f(-2)=2(-2)-1=-4-1=-5

As you can see the function satisfies the data provided by the problem. So we can conclude that it is correct.

Finally, let's find f(x) for x=1/2 :

f(1/2)=2(\frac{1}{2} )-1=\frac{2}{2} -1=1-1=0

Hence:

f(1/2)=0

Find the value of x (really need help with this)
qwelly [4]

Answer:

x=-7

Step-by-step explanation:

The sum of the angles of a triangle are 180 degrees

40 + x+57 + 90 =180

Combine like terms

187 +x = 180

Subtract 187 from each side

187-187 +x = 180-187

x = -7

Are the triangles congrouent? if so which postulate are the congrouent by?
ankoles [38]

Answer:

ASA

Step-by-step explanation:

They give us one pair of angles and one pair of congruent sides for it to be ASA we need an additional angle but on the other side from where the last angle was. By vertical angles proof we can see that the angles at the intersection will be congruent  so you have one angle then a side then another angle

Hope This Helps :)
